¶43 In a negligence case, the plaintiff must prove duty, breach, causation, and damages. Nivens v. 7-11 Hoagy's Corner, 133 Wash.2d 192, 198, 943 P.2d 286 (1997). Whether an actionable duty was owed to a plaintiff is a threshold determination and a question of law that this court reviews de novo. Munich v. Skagit Emergency Commc'n Ctr., 175 Wash.2d 871, 877, 288 P.3d 328 (2012).
